GUNMEN ABDUCT COMMUTERS ALONG THE ABUJA-KADUNA EXPRESSWAY

Gunmen have again abducted an unspecified number of travellers while on transit along the Kaduna-Abuja expressway in Kaduna State.

Intelligence gathered that the attack occurred around 4.30pm on Monday November 22.

Sources say at least four abandoned vehicles with shattered windshields and flat tyres were seen on the expressway after the attack.

It was learnt that an 18-seater bus belonging to Zamfara Mass Transit, a Toyota Yaris, a Volkswagen Golf, were among the vehicles attacked with its occupants whisked away into a forest by their assailants.

This attack comes barely 24 hours after bandits attacked commuters on the expressway, abducting several, and also killing Sagir Hamidu, a former gubernatorial aspirant with the APC in Zamfara.

Sources say the incident occurred less than five kilometers away from the point the assailants operated on Sunday.
